I had an enjoyable visit to Bali. The folks at the Alam Batu Resort were wonderful, the food was quite good, and the accommodations were befitting a tropical paradise, with the exception of the outdoor shower location. Having near or full sun on the shower area for the majority of the day was a major drawback for this redheaded traveler. I got terribly sunburnt from my first shower there! However, the bed in my bungalow was one of the most comfortable of my many travel experiences! The sound of the ocean waves so close by was a delight. The accessibility of the resort spa services in addition to diving activities was exceptional, as were the spa staff. While I found the scuba dive staff was very attentive and accommodating (including equipment rental), my biggest concern of the trip was the entry into the water to access the house reef and dive boats. I injured both my lower legs when being assisted out of the rough tide onto the lava rock jetty on one dive early in my stay. As the tide was rough throughout our visit, my fear of the water entry and exit led me to dive less often than I had planned. The Alam Batu resort was located in a much more remote region of Bali, a four hour drive from the airport, than I had expected. Tours from the resort are easy to book, but some require extended drives to and from the resort and desired destinations. I would have preferred some knowledge and awareness of the resort’s mentioned limitations prior to my travel, but would still recommend the Alam Batu Beach Bungalow Resort!

This was a wonderful experience. The leadership team did great and helped coordinate across the needs of different travelers, and Alam Batu had exceptional staff and beautiful grounds.

I was sick and unable to participate. Cannot really leave a review. Sorry! The shop and staff were wonderful with prep and expectations! I will try to go again.

The Panama Coral Restoration trip was amazing. Bocas del Toro is a hidden gem with some of the best reefs and diving that I've experienced in the Caribbean. The people at Bocas Pirates Dive Center go above and beyond. Krista is making the world a better place, and I am grateful that I had the opportunity to help for the week. I cannot wait to go back.

Cozumel’s reefs are always full of life and make a fantastic dive trip. Our adventurous group is the best!
